“[Edgar Rice Burroughs created] an entire world with a history and variety of cultures on a scale that would not be repeated until J. R. R. Tolkien created Middle-earth."
—Mike Ashley
Interplanetary perils and swashbuckling adventures on the Red Planet await you in John Carter of Mars, a thrilling trio of science fantasy novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Written during the heyday of the pulp fiction era, these bestselling, epic blends of derring-do and dazzling romance permanently remapped the terrain of fantasy and science fiction.
A Princess of Mars (1912) introduces officer John Carter, transported magically from Earth to Mars and plunged immediately into intrigues embroiling the Martian races. In The Gods of Mars (1918) and The Warlord of Mars (1919), Burroughs elaborates his colorful vision of Mars as a home to fantastic fauna, airborne pirates, and battling tribes of nomadic, four-armed green Martian giants and city-dwelling red Martians.
Already a seasoned swordsman, Carter becomes an even fiercer warrior, unfettered by the planet’s lesser gravity. Thrust into one deadly battle after another as he seeks to woo the beautiful Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, John Carter of Mars magnificently meets his destiny as science fiction’s first larger-than-life hero.

This is a well put together edition of the first three stories in the John Carter series. I read all these books over 40 years ago and enjoyed rereading them all. Can't wait until Volume 2!

Citizens are milling around, looking at windows and shopping. It is easy to become lost in a place like this, and bad guys can use that to their advantage. Banks, stores, and museums are located here.

How can I determine if I want to buy this book if the "open this book" thing for the web listing takes me to a preview of another edition of the book?!
Also, where is volume 3 of this edition (Fall River omnibus)?!!! It is no where to be found on B&N's website!!!! So frustrating!
